One of our most precious resources are our children. They are our
future and at the same time, one of our "grounding"
forces. Little did we know the wide scope of impact they would bring
into our lives. From young to old, they are OUR
children and as parents we will worry no matter what.
The Internet can be a great source of information for the children as
it could also be a distraction. Below are several web sites or
portals that are kid friendly. As always, we as parents have the
ultimate responsibility as to what our young children see on the internet.
Please examine the web sites below before you let your children click on them.
That way, you will know the type of content they will be looking at via
the Internet.
